AF operation during live view [IMAGER AF] When you press the shutter button halfway, AF is performed by the image pickup device. [AF SENSOR] When you press the shutter button all the way, the AF is activated and the picture is taken in the same way as when taking pictures using the viewfinder (AF is not activated on pressing the shutter button halfway). 1 [HYBRID AF] When you press the shutter button halfway, focusing is performed approximately by the Imager AF and you can check the subject on the LCD monitor. When you press the shutter button all the way, the AF is activated in the same way as with the [AF SENSOR] setting. The approximate focusing distance is obtained when the shutter button is pressed halfway so the time it takes to actually take the picture after pressing the shutter button all the way is shortened. When using S-AF+MF, this is very convenient as you can hold the shutter button pressed halfway and finely adjust the focus while checking the LCD monitor.
